The US secret service agents were being tracked with Strava… Everyone is getting fucked by the unregulated collection and use of personal data. Shit, some idiots even voluntarily give it away.

It’s worse than that. There are several cases of amazon censoring reviews of fake products while protecting scam companies.

Likely an ad leveraging AI to churn out this drivel in record time. The engagement economy sucks.
- Comment on PS5 is outselling Switch 2 1 week ago:
In Europe the discounted PS5 slim costs roughly the same as a Switch 2 in several territories, the whole discount thesis falls of a cliff once one realises that at the same price people still preferred the PS5. Whoever wanted a switch 2, already got it at launch, everyone else can see the cash grab.

- Comment on 'Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian': Todd Howard invited Obsidian devs onto Fallout season 2's set so they could see New Vegas in the flesh 2 weeks ago:
Because neither fallout 3 or 4 are RPGs. They are sandbox shooters, dumbed down games, so tide pod eaters don’t get confused while playing them.

We are also a product of our environment, genetics does the rest.
This is not assumption, this is fact.

We are all only a product of our environment.
This is manifestly wrong and preys upon years of nature vs nurture misinformation.
It also renders everything else in the text as unreliable. Highly suggest replacing *only with *also.

- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being "Unimpressed" by AI 3 weeks ago:
Abstraction layers. They are so detached from everyone else through abstraction layers that we’re nothing more than D2 NPC character sheets to them. That’s why when a Luigi, alegedly, breaks through all of the abstraction layers and brings a leaded reality check to these fucking parasites they double down on palantir like projects to keep themselves safe while making the state even more oppressive and invasive of everyone’s privacy.

In the past decade, PC hobbyists have been the victims of the latest group of regards “getting the bag”. Crypto 1.0, 2.0 and now AI. It’s the biggest fool theory doing its thing. I fucking hate tech bros and crypto bros. They are the huma race’s macro analogy for cancer cells.
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 3 weeks ago:
20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.

When you’re 80, your patience isn’t what it used to be 😏
- Comment on This is Jared Birchall. He is the right-hand man of Elon Musk. He also manages his wealth. Jared hates when people see his face. 3 weeks ago:
They should have blurred the kids’ faces, 100% not open for debate.
Nevertheless, these “think of the children” guys calling out OP are all too happy to only think of the white children. Musks USAID attack has resulted in thousands of deaths, including children. Let that hipocrisy sink in.
- Comment on AI is not killing jobs, US study finds - Financial Times 3 weeks ago:
AI is a cover for the delocalization of 1000s of jobs that now can be done in the 3rd world with the help of language models to make up for the language deficits of local populace. Several pharma, auto and IT services have now been moved to India and the layoffs given the cover of “economic headwinds”. I.e. Bosh is killing thousands of jobs in Germany but hiring thousands in India!? In the past year alone BOSCH India hired over 1000 people in India for the same class of jobs they are now extinguishing in Germany.
These CEOs should be hunted like animals, they keep ruining entire lives in the hunt for a bump in profits.

- Comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarter 3 weeks ago:
What I heard from scientists is experiments need validation, I say we need power in our experimental setup to verify claims. Jensen says he is holding the planet together, so, let’s eliminate Jensen and his next 5 in command in NVIDIA, n=6, and see if the planet breaks down. As a control, we cull Musk and his next 5 in command in Tesla and SpaceX. If the planet doesn’t break down, we start doing it internationally to billionaires till there’s a sign of a breakdown so we find out, empirically, how many billionaires are needed to support the planet. If we run out of billionaires before the planet breaks down, then the conclusion is the planet doesn’t need billionaires. Who else wants to do science?

The US civil rights movement was driven by the European diaspora running away from the destroyed infrastructure of Europe and WWII GIs that were treated more humanely while at war than back home.
